 Mars, Moon Nearly 'Touch' |
 |
On Jan 30 a bright gibbous moon will align with Mars in our sky with little gap between. A binocular or telescope can be a great aid in viewing this alignment and seeing how truly small Mars is in our sky compared with our Moon. The Moon is about 30' (arc-minutes) while Mars is just 0.24’ at this time -- about 1/125 the diameter.
